My project 1984 500 SEC (TONS OF PICS)

so i found this car on eBay, and i absolutely stole it for the price i got it for! I've been having this car for about a year and a half now! i only work on it once a week sometimes once every two weeks..

this is how it looked when i got it! wheels and everything!













so then i decided to change the color of the bumpers and the side molding on the car from the ugly tannish gray color to black













and thennnn i was like i don't like the green any more so i decided to wrap the car in satin pearl white! and the color of the roof matte black.. kinda a two tone color scheme!

















and then i was like hmm the car sits high! so i decided to lower the car! i was going to bag the car.. i have all the parts and everything needed but i couldn't get a chance to learn how to weld! and i don't want to take it to someone because i want to do it myself! lol.. But i went with h&r lowering springs and this is how it looks.. although it hasn't settled all the way yet but here it goes!



















now I'm working on the interior.. I'm doing black leather with platinum white suede seats with diamond inserts! black doors, dash, rear seat panels.. I'm doing the roof, a pillar and b pillar in the platinum suede and also the read deck! only have some pics of the suede rear deck and b pillars so far but I'm working on the rest right now!





















and I'm redoing the trunk.. completely custom













Thats all for now!

I kinda liked the green, however the darker black trim looks nice. Also, did you spray that interior panel?!

I really liked what you did with the rear speakers. I replaced mine this year with speakers that fit in the stock locations but not near enough bass.

i mean the green was nice but all my cars a different variant of white! so i was like hmm ill wrap it! still green underneath lol!

and yeah I'm redoing the full interior and blacking out the panels and all..
I'm using the duplicate color vinyl and fabric paint! sticks pretty good and look pretty good with the gloss black..
